From the BL manuscripts blog I learn that a further 74 Greek manuscripts have been added to their online site. The site uses proprietary technology to ensure that users can’t download images — perish the thought! — but is still better than nothing.

The blog post gives a list of manuscripts. Previous lists just gave the shelfmark, but this time, thankfully, they have indicated the contents.

Regular readers will remember that I commissioned a translation of all the fragments of Philip of Side, which is here. I wonder, therefore, what this is? I’ve asked Andrew Eastbourne to take a look, and we’ll see.

In other news, I have emailed a Dutch academic to ask about people who might be willing to translate some Old Slavonic for us all. I am, of course, thinking about the works of Methodius!
